Food Safety Authority stands by formula recall statementBy Cillian Sherlock, Press AssociationThe Food Safety Authority of Ireland has defended a public statement in which parents of infants were told that a formula potentially affected by a toxin had not been distributed into the country despite it being sold online. Last week, however, Danone issued an expanded recall to other Aptamil and Cow & Gate brands of formula. Information on the recall is available on the Food Safety Authority of Ireland’s website. Danone says it “never compromises on food safety” and said it wanted to reassure all parents that “we take this responsibility seriously”. It said all its baby formulas are produced under strict food safety and quality standards and undergo rigorous checks before leaving its factories.
